Thanks for the info, I will look into it. The CE I owned has not been modified cosmetically or otherwise, to my knowledge and it has them on the front. Black calipers with raised "CORVETTE" lettering on them (Silver).

Good point regarding the "I din't see you" percentage. I only counted drivers that I had a high expectation that they saw me (ie: at a light together, in opposing lanes of close proximity, etc...) I will be continuing to conduct my survey, posting results and of course continuing to promote the freedom of the WAVE.
Funny thing though, the other day a guy drove by my house, I was washing and waxing the CE and he actually honked his horn to get my attention, then he waved. Now that's what I'm talking about, total respect and awe for a vehicle that has strongly forged its way into American history, through innovative technology and some pure muscle. Save the Wave!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in Virginia Beach, VA and have recently conducted a survey of Corvette drivers to see what percentage of drivers will wave when presented with a wave first.
The statistic was somewhat disappointing, to say the least. Of 200 drivers I passed, only 46 waved back to me. That is only 23%!!!!!!!!!!!! Corvette owners, realize the legacy they are operating their vehicles under, well built American Sports cars only come in one variety, the Corvette. That legacy has some obligations that owners of these marvelous vehicles should subscribe. The least of which is to wave back at someone you see driving the World's best sports car. You don't see broken down Harleys beside the road. That is because the owner would rather push it uphill five miles through rain sleet or hail before leaving it on the road like a common crotch rocket. The same holds true for the Corvette, so if you see someone wave at you, you should PROUDLY wave back. Driving a Vette is one of the finer pleasures in the world and what are we showing new owners if we don't respect the tradition of the wave. What is compromised in one generation is lost in the next. SAVE THE WAVE!!!!!

I have a 1996 CE, can anyone tell me if the rear brake calipers should say CORVETTE on them as the front ones do?

I think you should consider using the design of the C4 guru logo on your website. Your design reminds me of a motorcycle club T-shirt.

You have the best Corvette site I have seen, I REALLY enjoy it. I notice on my member profile it shows "User Rankings" and "points". How is this determined and what can I do to get more points?
